Good news, it is a Third Person Shooter!

Tensai used the mist when the ref wasn't looking, that ain't clean. HBK beat him clean on that random 45 minute or so Raw match they had.

God, I remember that ROH show I went to where they had Jimmy Rave and Adam Pearce teaming together and mashed their themes together just like that. House of the Rising Sun and Black Betty are fine songs on their own, but combined like that was about the worst thing ever.

Wait, a dick is in a jerk or a dick as in a shamus? Dick as in detective. He's also a bit of a regular dick as well, but a likable enough one. Gracias.

I actually read the book over the prior weekend as... well I ended up with too much free time, but I returned it to the library so can someone please perhaps spoiler tag exactly where chapter 24 is in the story? My narrator is a more generic dick as I never saw the movie adaption.

I'm pretty sure this is the year The Last Guardian shows up... ...I think I first said that in 2010 or 11. Gotta be right eventually!

Wait, are you saying MVP had the US belt for nearly a year and had less than 4 defenses?

See, while I assume the diary page was legit if rather vague I kinda think that the actual suicide note wasn't exactly truthful in terms of what he was thinking. When their classmate killed himself years prior for apparently knocking some girl up the group of them basically decided it was a poor attempt and that he missed an opportunity with his nothing of a suicide note. I think Adrian dressed his up and made sure it was made public just so that his friends would think he went out... for lack of a better term, better. The fact that they apparently decided that he had an "A plus death" or whatnot suggests it worked.

Also lost in this is that Bret Hart was coming off a run where he spent the prior year or so just bitching out America at every turn. While the events of the screwjob did some work he was still a guy who needed a good bit of rehabilitation in the eyes of the crowd before you could run him as a beloved face of the company. Or to put it another way, it's rather easy to take Vince and make him a bad guy. Making Bret a face once more would be much harder, perhaps impossibly so if not for the events of Montreal. The "smart" fans would have, those less so needed a good bit of convincing. He never had a great face run after that point and while the booking was... let's say spotty, he took a heel turn that was gonna be hard to turn away from.

Saw the book was short and i needed something to read so... hey. Regarding the latter question I think that Adrian would regard Anthony as more important to him than Anthony had lead us to believe. He portrayed Adrian as this paragon, the best of them who existed almost above the other three. Ignoring how the revelations showed that to be false, what struck out to me in the book's aftermath was that Adrian at the least likely cared a good deal about what Tony thought/felt. I think he sent the initial letter to him asking about dating Veronica from an honest place because he cared about how Tony would feel/react to it. The book itself and the one diary page we are given suggests that the contents of Tony's angry letter lead him towards Veronica's mother, the one bit that stood out as actually usable advice. If he took that part of the letter seriously he likely took the rest so as well which could have poisoned his relationship with Veronica which... well probably made what happened with Susan a bit more likely to occur. Add in that he even considered him in his formula deliberations and I was left with the impression that while I'm not sure if Adrian liked or disliked him by the end he definitely valued him. Now was it actually Anthony's fault? I don't think we are given enough information to know for sure. Adrian didn't and he was the closest person in the book to the actual answer. I think the diary cutting off where it did hints that this was by design. Tony flicked the first domino that ended up in a cascade of destruction and he did so in a stupid thoughtless way, but said cascade was unpredictable enough that I don't think it is entirely fair to blame him for not seeing it down the road. I know I always look back on the me of five years ago and think he was often an idiot, it makes me hesitate to assign that severe a level of blame to a guy who was still young and still in many ways dumb.

All of you need to get Tokyo Jungle now.

Mission Impossible 3 perhaps?

You are now known as Big Josh Jr. At least your name isn't Dave-- then your greatest fear would be the moniker "Evad." A couple people actually called me evad in high school, and at least one did so for the obvious reason. Ryder's problem wasn't that his one main event 6 man tag rating came back bad. His problem was that virtually every quarter hour featuring him showed a significant dip in viewers with very few exceptions (one of the times Kane destroyed him was a decent gainer, that's the only one I recall). As much as the live crowd dug him the crowd watching at home consistently changed the channel when he was on worse than just about anyone else getting consistent tv time at the time. They could have probably found a niche for him somewhere but his push was halted for very legitimate reasons.

I mean, the game was more or less made by one guy and the pixel art is actually pretty alright, not like the Thomas Was Alone "I'm just gonna use blocks" uber-minimal approach. It obviously isn't pushing the system's capabilities but I think it'd be unfair in this case to say there was a lack of effort; this is just what he was capable of with what he had available to him. The game itself is actually a fairly well designed survival horror game in the vein of a Silent Hill with a metric ton of hidden depth. I played through once and probably missed half of the random stuff one could do. I don't think it is something that everyone will like but it is probably worth giving a shot. Hell I think there is still a free flash demo online somewhere.

I can kinda understand being comfortable trying a moonsault off of a cage when you have Cesaro in there to catch you as he's about as good at that as it gets. Trying it with a 44 year old Road Dogg who's only been back for about a month or so now (and likely doesn't want to take it full on as it'd have a good chance to injure him if it did) is basically asking for the broken wrist he nearly got. Road Dogg could have made it another step to the side in a better world but that went about as well as one would reasonably expect. I put it all if not on Cody then on the agent who didn't nix it.

I think they only really felt comfortable outing her because she was dead (the investor thing is a separate situation and obviously a big error), I would like to think that they collectively had enough experience with homosexuals prior to know you can't out someone living who doesn't want to be. The quandary is that let's say they chose no to disclose it but still kept all the details about the name change and all the lies that followed, likely having to explain some previous identity details due to the nature of the story. The big gap of not giving said identity would have obviously caused others to dig into it and it would have come up in the following day or two in all likelihood. Would have that have been preferable, and if not then how do you actually write a story about someone in such a situation doing such things? Mistakes were obviously made but I don't want to crucify them too badly as aside from the investor part it wasn't a slam dunk black/white issue.

5.25 million, not a 5.25 rating. Still great, but if he somehow pulled the latter they should have just given the whole company to him.

While the 3 million figure is being tossed around for Raw, it is worth remembering that is the average number of people viewing at any given time. According to nielsen in a given week the number of unique viewers for WWE programming (who watched at least I believe 15 minutes) was closer to 10 million, a figure initially laughed at but apparently one they stand by. I'm not sure how many of those would qualify as dedicated enough viewers to go for the network but the pool they are aiming at is very likely a good bit bigger than you are anticipating.

Of course it is due to the weakness of the network they are on, but the network they are on has made the UFC more or less invisible to a number of the fans they once had. If you take the big 4 fox shows out of the equation their presence on tv isn't that dramatically different from Bellator right now and if you'd have said that even six months ago it'd be viewed as insane. The lower ratings is one thing but with all the advertising being concentrated on a channel with virtually no viewers there's likely a ton of people who are theoretically still interested in UFC but have no idea that many of their events even exist, much less the when and the where. The thing I'm keeping an eye on is the ppv buyrates as it's entirely possible the weak tv presence is hurting them as well, the sample size just isn't big enough to know for sure. I have no clue what the UFC will be like in seven years if the situation stays the same, but I doubt it'll be nearly the size it is now without FS1 growing into something.

If you add in WEC they are actually 0 for their last 9, which is both embarrassing and yet impressive in that they collectively earned that many title shots.

Edge?

Well there will be tens of millions of 360s out compared to at most a few million Ones, so... yeah, probably.

I'm sad to see the characters go but the ones that were primarily attached to Jimmy have had no real reason to be on the show anymore for a while now. They were great characters so it's not like it was this big negative but Richard has more or less been floating at the periphery for two seasons now with no real purpose to the larger whole and Gillian, while worth following up up on for at least a bit in season 3 to see how she'd react, coulda OD'd at the end of last season and nothing would be lost. The show is probably spread out a bit too far as is across at least 5 states and god knows how many different storylines this season alone and would benefit from narrowing its focus just a bit, and this group of characters are the least essential to the central narrative. I'll miss them, but it was likely the right thing to do.
